Impact of images
This museum does a great job of unpacking the history of photography and the stories behind some of the photos on display - many of which are awesome. Temporary exhibitions (The Verdict - Jan Benning/Christine Boyer) and the interactive AI picture comparison upstairs were great. Made a great decision to spend a couple of hours here. Better than other photo galleries/museums visited recently.

A Diverse Collection
Being a keen photographer this museum was always on my list of things to do in Rotterdam. The main show when I visited was by the Dutch photographer Cas Oorthuys. There were lots of photos to see and I found it very interesting. Upstairs they had some animal photographs curated from the museum's archive by Charlotte Dumas. There was also a collection of photographs by modern photographers that were based on old photographs from the museum archive again. There is a small cafe and a bookshop here as well.
